Service start/end dates not working.

[Fightingirish]

Just reinstalled SF2 E and patched to May 11 but have discovered that Service start/end dates for add on planes are not working.

 

An example of this was for B-1B (03). In the data.INI, start/ end dates are as follows:

 

[MissionData]

NationName=USAF

ServiceStartYear=2003

ServiceEndYear=2025

 

But in mission builder service dates show as:

 

 

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

It's limited by the dates set under the singlemission entry, in options.ini file. That file resides in your mod folder(s). For example, editing the start and end year lines to match the following dates will cover everything from WW2 and onto the near future:

 

StartYear=1939

EndYear=2020

 

For more infomation, I suggest that you read through the SF2 knowledge base.

Thanks very much for that.

I generally have a bash at trying to find solutions to issues but didnt see any entries for this particular problem.

 

Thanks again.

the procedure is in a post in the SF/Wo* Knowledge Base -- it's the same for ALL 3W series games.

 

But, just to make things easier for all involvoed, I'll do up a new post in the SF2 KB
